Thanks for the reply. Mandrake 8.2 is rather confusing on support for

a card that is not supported in version 4.2.0, then Mandrake loads the
specific driver, such as XFree86_s3, from XFree86 version 3.3.6. I am using
Hi Vic
You're on the right track about changing the symlink to point to XFree86
when you get your new card. The configuration program is drakconf and
you use it from the command line outside of 'X'. If that's a problem

can't stop Xwindows and return to just the command line once Xwindows has
been started. You have to change your boot configuration so that Xwindows
does not automatically start when you boot the computer. Then you reboot,
